Ted Cruz said Thursday that his presidential campaign will carry on to the Republican National Convention in July, and that he’d keep fighting for the nomination as long as he sees a way to win.
“We are continuing as long as we have a path to victory, and I believe we are going to earn the majority of the delegates at the convention. Nobody is getting to 1,237 [before the convention]. Donald [Trump] wants everyone to think this is over, and the mainstream media wants everyone to think this is over,” Cruz said on Tony Katz’s Indianapolis radio show Thursday.
“The reason the media wants it is because all of the network executives are Democrats, and they want Hillary to win. They know Donald is the only candidate on Earth that Hillary can beat. As long as we have a path to victory, I am in this race to win it,” Cruz said.
Cruz added that the Hoosier state “has the ability to step in and make a choice, using common sense Midwestern values of who we want to lead us, who we are.”
“Well, we are fighting to the end, we are fighting to win and we are going to do everything possible to win here in Indiana. We’re barnstorming right now,” Cruz said. He encouraged listeners to find out about his upcoming campaign events in the state on his website, TedCruz.org, and plugged his new campaign website, CruzCarly.com, after naming of Carly Fiorina as his vice presidential pick.
Cruz also explained how he picked Fiorina as his running mate, and called it an “extended process.”
“But look, it’s a lot of the people you would naturally think of, other candidates who were in the field, other elected leaders and prominent leaders, people who have earned respect and have been in the trenches battling for conservative principles,” he said. “We initially cast a fairly wide net and then had a systematic process of narrowing it down.”
